Hi all,
I use VirtualBox a lot and love it a lot.
I just wondered if I can update a Win7 guest to a Win10 guest (update, not clean fresh install).
Thanks.
Best

Re: Update of Win7 to Win10
Win10 is not currently supported regardless of what you start with, so you aren't going to get a direct answer to that.
Also, that sounds like more of a Windows support question than a VirtualBox one. Microsoft can tell you if the Win10 download can be used to upgrade anything.
In any case, why not clone the Win7 guest and then try it? Or, just make a backup of your existing VM first, like you really should do anyway before you try anything risky.
